Confirmed from Golfview Greenway Walking Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Unassuming park with a gravel and asphalt route for walking, running, and dog-walking around ponds.

🏃 great for running 3 mentions

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“This trail is very peaceful for a long walk.”

🐕 dog-walking favorite 3 mentions

“Snowball, my dog, and I went for a walk.”

I really enjoyed this walking trail. It had natural incline and declines which is a calorie booster and made my legs burn. Plus, it felt easier to get 3 miles in since 1 lap is ~ 1.5 miles, making it feel quicker to workout lol

★★★★☆ — Erica , Nov 2020

I had a wonderful walk this morning on this trail. The path is not a paved trail which is fine with me. I believe it is not suitable for a wheelchair. There is very little shade on the trail so a morning or evening walk might be better if you don’t want to walk in the heat.

★★★★★ — Larry , Apr 2021

This is a great trail for able-bodied individuals and those with a good jogging stroller. It's beautiful with plenty of parking. Great for walking, running or taking your dog. The trail is paved asphalt, but it is very worn and broken in many spots.

★★★★☆ — Emily , Sep 2023

My husband & I love it here. We do our 5k walks here and it has plenty of space to walk on the trail. Great views. They have portable bathrooms. 2 parking lots. It's now one of our favorite parks to walk.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
